Comparison of the relative levelsa of metabolites of the linoleic acid pathway in sera from BT and LL patients before and after antibiotic treatment.

aAbsent values were substituted with the limit of detection, represented by the lowest intensity value of any given sample. Then, averaged values from the untreated BT serum samples (n = 4) were normalized to 100% and other samples were normalized accordingly. SD are shown in parentheses. EpOME, epoxyoctadecenoic acid; HODE, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid; TriHOME, trihydroxyoctadecenoic acid; oxoODE, oxooctadecadienoic acid.
